Taxonomy
This species was originally described as a secondary homonym of Gephyromantis elegans by Guibé in 1974.[2] A new name, Mantidactylus guibei was given for this species by Blommers-Schlösser in 1991.[1] Dubois placed this species in the then-subgenus Blommersia,[3] but it was later transferred to Spinomantis.[4]
Habitat and Ecology
Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical moist montane forests and rocky areas. It is threatened by habitat loss.
